Mourning Reign by The Mourning Reign

Always mentioned in the same breath as the South Bay's hallowed trio–the Syndicate Of Sound, the Chocolate Watchband and Count Five–the Mourning Reign has been woefully under-represented. Three powerful 1967 cover versions–the Who's "Run, Run, Run," Cream's "Tales Of Brave Ulysses" and Love's "Signed D.C."–complete a package combining the band's first, ultra-rare Contour single "Evil-Hearted You"/"Get Out Of My Life, Woman" with all of the fuzz-drenched Golden State Recorders material, like "Satisfaction Guaranteed" and "Our Fate."
